THE bOOms Of Kansas are confined,
with here or there an exception, 20
sections. Inthe southern part Of the
state the city Of Fort Scott shines
forth with particular effulgence In
this booming world. In eastern and
and northern Kansas there is little
II any deviation from the staid and
old manner Of things in those local
tiles. But Il remains for central and
western Kansas 10 take the palm on
the score Of a very energetic and
substantial boom. The difference
rests more especially in two causes,
tO-wit: superiority as a farming
country and opportunity for men Of
limited means. For wheat culture
this country stands pre-eminent In
the grand total, and double the
amount Of wheat Is raised annually
in this immediate locality, than in
any other commensurate locality.
For farm products generally central
Kansas Is not to be excelled, and for
stock raising il never falls in good
results. We are most fortunately
situated In respect to soil and eli
mate, and the vast domain Of wealth
which will aggregate itself-Or what
we may state 30 be the golden belt Of
Kansas-will almost equal that Of a
kingdom.

THE following will be fully appre-
ciated by those who have lived in a
country where forests Of sugar ma
pies abound, and who in each recur-
ring spring have seen the sap gath
erers go forth with their yOkes and
buckets to gather the "sweet water"
empty It into the receiving OK
sled, and convey it to the great pans
or kettles under the shed, which are
to boil it down to luscious syrup and
then 10 delicious sugar:
II Ii only under the naples that
one may know the true flavor Of its
sugar; Il is only from the great ket-
tie seething and bubbling in the
open woods, with q mOttled foam Of
gold and brown, that one may dip
the true ambrosia Of the gods. With
what impatience the laughing crowd
gathered around and watched the
sugar-maker as he dipped the long
twig, its end knOtted into a ring,
into the eructing mass and blew the
sweets which clung to Il into long
golden threads, trying time and
again until the film across the ring
would no longer break but hollow
out into a bubble, when the moment
for swinging the kettle from the fire
had come. Then poured over snow
to harden, or stirred into a golden
paste, or pulled out into long creamy,
crispy sticks, what other cOnfectiOn
could compare with the Great Moth
er?

THE Mcpherson Democrat thinks
Salina is the busiest, boomiest,
most progressive place on earth,
and gives prominence TO the follow
ing very truthful item:
Walking along Salina streets one
sees such placards as these posted In
conspicuous places: "This lot is not
for sale, so please don't bother your
self about it:m or 1--WE have no fur
nished rooms TO rent" or every
room in this building has been
rented, or This building will only
be rented for Office rooms; not for
housekeeping or lodging" or 1--WE
cannot accommodate any more
bOarders," etc. This Is taken by Sa-
linaites TO indicate that their town Is
growing. Perhaps she is.

THE two towns along the Union
Pacific Railway that are making the
greatest progress are Topeka and Ss-
lima. They are thickening up and
branching out. Railroad building TO
either place exceeds that Of any oth-
er competing town. The next place

ment is, perhaps, Abilene. Junction

more than holding their own. A re-

ADMIRAL LUCE.
Secretary Whitney Regrets that the Adj
miral should have Acted Without First
Consulting the Department.

WASHINGTON, Sept 90.
The correspondence between Secretary
Whitney and Admiral Luce concerning the
queries admitted by the admiral to Captain
Scott of the Canadian fishing service are
made public. The secretary says that while
the admrers motive was honorable and
praiseworthy, the method Of obtaining the
desired information. II he wished to en-
tighten the American fishery fleet in regard
to the law to which they would be subjected
by officials in Canadian ports. he should have
gone to the Department of State instead of to
subordinate Canadian official whose state
ment would be unauthorized and possi-
bly narrow. Captain Scots Interpretation
of the law was narrow and did
American fishermen and compromised the
American position, and when Admiral Luce
printed and circulated these views the effect
was practically to nullify the treaty
Secretary Whitney regrets that the admi-
raj should have acted without first consulting
the department. The tone of his letter is
kind and friendly.
In reply Admiral Luce acknowledges his
error and disavows emphaticslly any adop-
tion or approval of Capt. SCOTS statements
and regrets extremely that he should have
seemed to trench in any way on the functions
of the department of State or of its agent.
| In conclusion Whitney says: am salts
fed that you should retain your present com
mand Your handling of the squadron at sea
and the practice in tactics and feet move
ments which you have given your officers
during the last year are specially to be COM
mended.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
HOW HE GOT RICH.
A Detailed Account of McNeely's Pecu.
Iations Since July.

'BrDDEFoRD, Sept. 90.
The official statement of the condition of
the Saco and Biddeford Savings institution
to be issued by Bank Examiner Richards,
shows that while the officers of the institution
were resting in the belief that Frank c. Nc
Nicely was without smirch or blemlsh as far
as his honesty was concerned, and the public
generally had blind confidence in his purity,
the young defaulter was living a complete
double life, and while hiding behind the mask
of morality, was at the same time stuffing
his pockets with funds belonging to the bank.
He carried on his speculations in the simplest
way possible and whenever he felt like max
ing a grab he simply entered the amount of
deposit handed in on the pass book and neg
| lected to make an entry on the books of the
bank.
From the statement it seems his palm COM
menced itching in good earnest on the l4th
of July, when he took $50, and that he suf-
| fered a recurrence of the malsdy the 23d of
| the same month and stole the same amount
| again
Three days later he plundered the banks to
the extent OF S25, then again on the 30th he
took $50. August 9TH he took $3.50; the 9th
$50, and on the 18th made jump to $3.50.
Then remorse evidently took possession of
him, for his stealngs the next day amounted
to the modest sum of So He made up for
all the lost time on the 18Th, however, by
taking 800. and wound up his petty pecula-
tons the next day afte: by making grab of
$50.
Now comes the question, what did Nc
| Neeiy do with all this money? Did he lay it
| by to meet the wants of a coming rainy day,
or did he spend it as he went along?
! If the latter then there are persons in Bid
deford and Saco who enjoyed the fruits of his
dishonesty, for there is no evidence that he
was much in the company of strangers during
the summer and it is not reasonable to sup
pose that he squandered the money on him
| self
The conclusion is forced that if McNeely
did spend the money, that there are parties
| in the two cities who know more about the
young defsulter's past habits than they have
told, and it is not probable that a solution of
the above will be forthcoming unit! McNeely
is captured and brought back to Saco, an
event which present indications do not point
to as liable to happen very soon.

O'Brien, charged with sedition under the
coercion act was taken today from the Cork
Jail to Mitchellstown, to stand trial.
As he lef, the city under guard of de-
tachment of hussars and police, he was loud
ly cheered.
Upon their arrival at Mitchellstown o 'Brien
was greeted with tremendous cheering by a
large crowd which had gathered to welcome
him. The crowd manifested great excite
ment but there was no indication Of any dis
order.
OBrien was Immediately conveyed by his
guards to the court room.
Many English ladies were present to wit
ness the trial. and O'Brien was the recipient
of many beautiful bouquets from number
OF them.
During the trial Harrington declared that a
deliberate attempt had been made to suppress
Constable O'Sullivsn's report of O'Bren's
speech.
Carson said the observation of Harrington
was pure fabrication.

An excited crowd followed the car in which
OBrien was taken back to prison, hooting
and yelling at the soldiers who fixed their
bayonets and proceeded. Dillon and num-
Der of priests pacified the crowd.
